HTML

In HTML, titles should exist within the <title> tag. There should only be one, and it should also be somehow related—and maybe even exactly the same—as the <h1>. Use headings to establish structure.

LaTeX

In LaTeX, title is again metadata. Insert the title in the preamble metadata: \title{_}.

Styles that are important to structure in a LaTeX file are:

  • Insert sections in document body: \section{_}, \subsection{_}, etc.

  • Numbered lists in use: \enumerate{_} \item \item ... \end{enumerate}

  • Bulleted list use: \itemize{_} \item \item ... \end{itemize}

Markdown

In Markdown, your title exists after a singular hashtag, # Title. Hashtags give markdown structure. The relationship between Markdown and HTML shows us that <h1> and <title> are often the similar or the same.

Note

HTML, LaTeX, and Markdown to PDF

It is not accessible to move .tex, .mdz, and .html files to PDF. If you give folks the source document, they can render or convert it to whatever preferred file extension they'd like to read from.

Heading 1

You will only ever use Heading 1 or <h1> once in your materials. It will and should usually coincide with "Title" in Microsoft's document properties or <title> in an HTML file. If you have questions, please reach out to accessibility@swarthmore.edu.
